For this contest, I wanted to make something really good. So after some thought, I decided that Bacon Cheesecake would be absolutely amazing... Sure, I could just take someone else's recipe and add bacon, but I wanted something REALLY good. I brought in my Aunt (Who is a an extremely good cook), and we came up with this.
It makes four different types of cheesecake:
Sugar-Free Bacon Cheesecake,
Brown Sugar Bacon PB Cheesecake,
Brown Sugar - Peanut Butter Bacon Cheesecake (in a PB cookie crust),
and Bacon Cheesecake with bacon peanut brittle (In an english muffin - Bacon crust).
You can either make 2 small ones of each, 6 tarts of each, or one large one of each.
It would also be easy to just take one part of the recipe, and quadruple it to make a large batch of just one type.
There's also a recipe for a sour cream-based ice cream I invented, that has bacon, maple syrup and vanilla flavouring.
A real treat for any bacon lover!
All four are exceptional, and I really encourage you to bake all four!

Ahh. Like any instructable, the first step is making sure you have everything ready.
The main things you will need that aren't pictured are:
Tart Shells (You could make these yourself, I was lazy. If you're only using these for the whole batch, you'll need 24),
beaters or a mixer,
an oven,
and a fridge.
The ingredients needed are:
24 oz Cream cheese (This was 3 Philadelphia packs),
1/2 Tbs Vanilla extract ,
3 Large Eggs ,
3/4 of a cup of Peanut Butter ,
1lb Bacon (Or as much as you want),
1 cup Brown Suga r,
3 Tbs Icing Sugar,
1/2 Cup grated Cheese (I used swiss Gruyere. Turned out great.),
2 cups full fat Sour Cream,
1/3 Cup Maple Syrup,
and a few PB Cookies (Only needed if you're making the crust on the next step.)
For the Peanut Brittle, you can either buy some or use the following ingredients and go to step 3
(Which is great just by itself!)
1 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup light corn syrup
1/2 Cup water
1 Tablespoon butter
3/4 Cup red skinned peanuts
1 Teaspoon baking soda
2 Teaspoons vanilla
8 Bacon slices , torn into small pieces.
(Sorry about the different units...)
*PB means Peanut Butter, to anyone who doesn't know.
When you're sure you have all of these,
preheat the oven to 325°F.

You should post the bacon brittle as a separate Instructable - I want to make it too. ;)
If I ever get married, that will be our wedding cake. My boyfriend would die for these
Thanks! They turned out wonderfully :)
